ABSTRACT Based on videodata of play situations between children and professionals, a qualitative analysis of gender socialisation of boys in German EEC (Early Education and Care) institutions has been conducted. The theoretical and methodological framework of this research is an attempt to describe gender identity as an interactional phenomenon, which is situationally flexible but at the same time affected by structural persistence. Coming from this conceptual basis, qualitative video analysis was used to examine and interpret the data. The results can be understood as a rationale for male childcare workers as promoters of diversity. Emphasising the micro-level of sociality in theory and research allows diverse interpretations of gender, instead of describing dichotomous polarities.

男性育儿工作者是多样性的推动者

摘要 基于儿童和专业人士之间玩耍情况的视频数据，对德国 EEC（早期教育和保育）机构中男孩的性别社会化进行了定性分析。本研究的理论和方法框架试图将性别认同描述为一种互动现象，这种现象在情境上是灵活的，但同时受到结构持久性的影响。基于这个概念基础，定性视频分析被用来检查和解释数据。结果可以理解为男性育儿工作者作为多样性促进者的基本原理。在理论和研究中强调社会性的微观层面允许对性别的不同解释，而不是描述两极分化的两极。
